Dickinson County, not Abilene
Dickinson County context, not Abilene figures
These are Dickinson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Abilene measurements.
- Establishments in Dickinson County461
- Employment at those establishments, Dickinson County4,966
- Covered employment, Dickinson County6,412
- Average annual pay, Dickinson County$44,483
- Average weekly wage, Dickinson County$855
- Housing units permitted, Dickinson County61
- Of those, single family, Dickinson County17
- County product, 2024, Dickinson County$853,769,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dickinson County-1.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dickinson County$52,595
Every figure in this section is published for Dickinson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Abilene. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
